Thanksgiving * day passed off
1- quietly in town, most of the stores

prevailing, save for the echoes of
of the shot-guns of local Niinrods,
who spent the day exercising their
^ marksmanship shooting partridges,
doves, squirrels or any other wild
r creature that came within range
of their trusty weapons. Thus far,
however, we have not heard of any
phenomenal success in the way of
- filling the game bags.

DECEMBER SALESDAY.
Bidding Was Spirited and Several
Tracts Brought Good Prices.
Salesday, Monday, brought the
biggest crowd that has been seen
here for a long time,on a similar occasion.
There were several pieces of
land advertised for sale, most of it
desirable real estate, and when put
upon the block th? bidding was lively
and spirited.
The first tract offered offered was
a "Sheriff's Sale" in the matter of
Bradshaw vs Kasia Gamble et al.
This tract of land contains 154 acres,
"lying, being and situate" within a
few miles of Greelyville. The bids
were offered by Greelyville business
men exclusively, and, as one of the
bidders remarked: "It just shows
that we believe in Greelyville dirt."
The several bidders ran neck and
neck for half an hour, and the contest
was quite exciting; so much so
that Auctioneer Bryan jocosely remarked
that there must be a gold
mine on the place. Finally the property,
154 acres, was knocked down to
Meisrs S V and E 0 Taylor of Greelyville
for the tidy sum of $3,000,
which is a trifle over $19 an acre.
Next tract, McFadden vs Jane
Grant et al, 20 acres, near Central
church,was bid in by Mr W V Strong
for $390.
Fifty acres, near Rhems, in re F
Rhem & Sons vs Feaeher Pressley et
al. was bought by Messrs Kelley &
Hinds, attorneys, for $325.
Two tracts were sold for taxes,
4G acres and 40 acres, respectively;
both are situate in Mingo township
and both were bid in by Kelley &
Hinds, attorneys,for the same price,
$110 each.
The last sale, a partition sale, Ervin
vs Bennett,by H O Britton,Clerk
of Court, was a tract of 37J acres
near Bloomingvale, which was bought
by Joe McCullough, colored, for
$425.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY ACCIDENT. ?
Mr J A Byrd Thrown from Wag- Z
on and Severely Hurt. |
Monday afternoon Mr James A Z
Byrd, who ifves about three miles %
east of Kingstree, was coming to
town in his wagon, driving a team
of mules, when about half way the
distarce the mules took fright and
ran away, throwing Mr Byrd to the f
ground with violent impact, so as to |
render him unconscious. The injur- f
ed man was hurried to town and f
taken to the office of W V Brockin- |
ton, who worked several hours with 4
him before he regained conscious- 4
ness. A severe gash was cut at the ^
back of the head, requiring a dozen j,
' or more stitches to sew it up. Dr <i
McLeod of Florence was called in consultation
with Dr Brockinton t
Monday night, and everything possi- I
ble was done for the injured man, V
who for awhile seemed to rally, but .
yesternay. we understand, he suffer- I
ed a relapse and had to be taken to
the Florence infirmary. |
If you are troubled with chronic
constipation, the mild and gentle effect
of Chamberlain's Tablets makes i
them especially suited to your case. (
